Launcherpro Plus landscape snappiness - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I'm on mikfroyo 4.5 and I'm using the paid launcherpro. Is there a way to have it build a cache for switching between portrait and landscape mode? Switching to landscape on the home screen isnt TOO slow but it could definately stand to be faster. It looks like it removes all the icons on my screen and then replaces them currently.

I would also like to know if there is a setting I'm missing somewhere to remedy this. This happens to me using LPP on any Sense OR AOSP rom. Drives me crazy. Exactly as you describe, when it switches from landscape to portrait, the icons seem to disappear and then rebuild. It's annoying as crap. I have played around with all the settings and have yet to find anything to correct this. I never see anyone else complain of the issue, so I assumed it was my doing that was causing the problem somehow. Any suggestions anyone?

My solution: turn off rotation in Launcher Pro. I also tried this for a while but was very dissatisfied with the time it took to switch orientations, no amount of caching or keeping launcher in memory tweaks seemed to help.

Yea, that's what I did. I don't need my homescreen in landscape. I'd rather not have the slow loading.

Landscape as default orientation?

Is there some kind of cvar/mod/hack/.. to change the default orientation from portait to landscape?
In AOSP only ofc.
no ideas about that? :/
You could try putting your phone into landscape then turning orientation off.
That is the only easy way I know of to keep it that way, if you use a widget then you can easily turn it back on when you want to change back.
it goes back to porttrait immediately when disabling auto-rotate. (via a homescreen widget)
any further ideas?
shouldnt there be a way to do so since the motorola droid has everything in landscape when hw-keyboard is open?
can some dev please give his opinion on this please?
just wanted to add that after trying landscape mode for a while, I think it would be annoying as the default or only layout option since it requires two hands pretty much for even the most simple use.
portrait allows thumb (if you're talented) or index finger (if you're flexible) single handed tapping usage.
i prefer landscape mode in all situations. i always hold my hero sideways but dont want to wait like 2 sec for it to turn around.
so again, is there a way for doing this?

since the silence here is suggesting that no developers are going to (or are able to) help you out, I suggest you try playing with the slide rom that has sense rotation enabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666640
it's not perfect, cant' record video, some issues that eventually always make me want to switch back (notably if you use exchange the contact list doesn't join contacts from exchagne email, gmail email, and active directory email... but it should and does in non-slide roms).
But it has the fastest launcher screen rotation of any hero rom I've used, faster than vanilla + launcherpro and far more stable in how it senses screen rotation. it's a sense rom that is actually designed to work as well landscape as portrait.
it doesn't rotate instantly, but it's noticeably faster turning (for me using only it's built in array of sense widgets) if you want to use horizontal layout. And it stays in place better - you know how annoying it is when launcherpro has rotation enabled and you move your phone a bit and suddenly it's redrawing sideways for the next 6 seconds... well I haven't found that to be much of an issue in that slide rom.
There are still a couple of parts that dumbly don't rotate, or at least not in the default settings I tried (contacts for example and settings are I think still portrait - stupid mistakes on HTC's part).
If you nandroid first or bart first if you use an ext partition then you have no worries in flashing the above rom to at least give it a try.
This is one area where the new iphone seems to win out I'm afraid - it's launcher screen rotation is really nice, animated, quick, stable and very useful.
Dammit LoL
good luck, post your findings please!
thank you for your effort but that rom you suggested does not meet my requirements and i cant say that i like the modified rosie that is used here. :/

that's fair
At least I tried
If an actual rom developer had a solution for you it would be more interesting!
have you considered talking to one of the 3rd party launcher developers? such as the guy who makes launcherpro, the adw guy(s), and so on?
Maybe that is where your solution lies?
That combined with maybe talking to one of the cyanogenmod developers themselves (who aren't hero-specific, you'd have to google their home website)?
Cyanogenmod might be able to add an option for 90 degree rotation only (with no zero degree switching). or at least show you how to change it yourself.
Good luck!

Stop tilt?

I've tried Google without any luck..so I'm guessing this is a no..but I'm trying to find an app that disables tilt in certain situations only. I know I can disable tilt thru the settings..but that disables tilt EVERYWHERE. I'm just looking to disable tilt on my homescreen..while still being able to tilt while browsing Interwebz and whatnot. Seems like it should be an easy enough function..considering BB's have an app for it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ok 1 - Android is not BlackBerry. Not even on the same level as one another, so just get that out of your head.
Second off, wtf do you mean on your homescreen? Sense doesn't turn landscape unless you changed the Skin to one built with landscape. Just switch it to the stock HTC skin, problem solved, it never goes landscape unless you open the keyboard.
If you're not using Sense (CM 6.1 or something) check the settings, as it usually has a way to disable homescreen rotation in their own personal settings.
Try CM6. It has the option for a custom power control widget to be embedded into the statusbar. You can put a toggle for rotation too. You loose the sense home and widgets though, but imo stock > sense. Or you could try quickdesk and put a rotation toggle widget on it.

Orly? Android isn't Blackberry? Good to know.
So lets begin...in order to "hide" all the bunk apps because I wasn't rooted, flashed, s-offed etc yet (all the things necessary to remove said apps) I had to download Launcher Pro (which was highly recommended). As soon as this was done..then yes..I was no longer able to use stock Sense. So now..my homescreen always tilts on me..which bugs the **** outta me. Could I just go back to stock Sense? Sure I could..but I'd rather have what should be a basic app to allow me to pick and choose where and when I'd like my screen to tilt. And I've grown to like how my homescreen looks over the stock look. Yes..I can disable autotilt in the settings..but then I can't even tilt the screen into landscape for the browser. So maybe I'm missing something here that someone else can point out..

I am on a stock ROM myself still, but I know that Cyanogen has a lot of customisation options. I wonder if it's worth asking in the CM thread over on the G2 side (because the DZ one is dead) out whether that has options that might help you ?
You want to disable "rotation" all over your phone AND to be able to use the browser in Landscape mode.
If that is the only thing you want, you can set your browser to "landscape mode only"
Now if you have a longer list of requirements on what apps get permisions to rotate the screen etc, I think you may bigger problems

there was nothing offensive or said with an attitude in this post. it was only til you noobs came on here with misplaced android pride. he didnt compare berrys to droids. he simply said they have an app for it.
this is a great question. the tilt function seems almost too sensitive. it would be great to maybe tweak it somehow to make it so you really have to hold the phone sideways....instead of slightly tilt the phone. an app to block it in certain situations is good but i feel that id have to micro manage too much to specify every single situaiton id want tilt or not.
for the record... i'm am a die hard android user and his post did not push my buttons at all. this post is very useful.
ADW launcher has an option in system preferences for home screen orientation.
Just change it from auto to portrait, that's what I did.

Wow no one answered your question. Well here it is, when you are on the home screen hit the Menu - Behavior Settings and uncheck Enable Auto-Rotation.
That will disable auto rotation on the home screen. Now go into Settings - Display and make sure Auto-rotate screen is checked. This way you will be able to but your screen into landscape mode when surfing the web or using apps that auto rotate. Now if you want to be able to choose specific apps, that I have no knowledge of doing. Hope this helps.

Tasker (on the Market) can be set up to enable/disable auto-rotation on many different triggers, like when a certain app is launched. Plus it can do a lot more that that! Check it out I think it's well worth the money.

Excellent.
Glad I could help. I know I was having the same issue at one point in time and it was very annoying. I didn't want to give up on Launcher Pro because the widgets are awesome and it gave me "sense" on my stock android! If you haven't played with Launcher Pro Plus, you should give it a whirl. The widgets that are unlocked with it are definitely top notch.

This is the correct answer if using Launcher Pro, I'd assume it would be pretty similar for adw launcher too.

Not only those but what about the Friendstream widget? It is damn near an exact replica of the sense widget. I also like how when you use the picture frame widget, you can resize it. That feature is only available on LPP not LP.

Every time I try ADW I am always disappointed with the jerkiness/lack of smooth scrolling. I try it once every few months but never stuck with it.
Definitely Launcher Pro for me, smooth, customisable, practical,... who could ask for more?

[Q] Improve lanscape display on G2

Is there any way to improve the G2 display in landscape mode? On my G2 I always open my G2 in landscape mode. Whenever I open it, the display tends to lag for 2 sec before displaying the homescreen. Any tips?
Are you stock? Rooted? using a different launcher?
Overclock (if rooted) and less widgets might help.
i am perm-rooted with gingervillian 1.5 running. Using setcpu really didn't help, thanks for the suggestion, anything helps. More suggestions?

Don't think there's much you can do. I see worse performance changing orientation on my home screen that has 2 widgets vs. other screens with just icons or 1 widget. I'm overclocked to 1017mhz and its definitely better than it was at 806mhz.
If you're using ADW launcher try out the stock one or Launcher pro, they can sometimes offer faster orientation times.
tried Adw launcher, it was good but I just recently switched to launcherpro plus, and i was hooked. But other than that still wish i could improve the speed.

I use launcherpro plus too. Go into your preferences>advanced>memory usage settings and try setting the memory usage preset to high, and put a checkmark in the 'use homescreen caches' checkbox. I've got the Homescreen cache type set to normal, which I believe is the default.

[Q] go launcher ex - screen sensitivity problems???

so, just got my phone looking and feeling pretty much how I wanted it using go launcher but I am noticed that either i have a problem with screen sensitivity or there is a problem with go. I am finding that i have to click some icons several times to launch them, seem worse in drawer.
Anyone else finding that the get the audible click but nothing happens?
EDIT: switched back to ADW and everything is back to normal, gotta be an issue with GO..
No. The only problems I've had with Go Loauncher EX is that there was a lag between the start of a horizontal swipe and the homescreens starting to swipe - resolved once I stopped the wallpaper from scrolling too, and in the app drawer sometimes a long press doesn't launch "edit mode".
Other than that it's all gravy...
odd, my problems disappeared when moving back to ADW. Cheers anyway though.
+1 haha i thought it was just me that was having this issue.when you select something on launcher it indicates the touch with the glow but nothing happens?press couple times and it will open.that is what i was having.was making think i was having lag.went back to touchwiz not a issue.
+2 Hot damn, I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I emailed them about it but it definitely goes away with a different launcher
cool hopefully they will have a fix in no time.those guys work hard.its hard to go back to touchwiz after go.i also use there go pro messenger.built in backup etc like the laucnher.
Having the same "lag" problem.
So, we're all NOT crazy
Cant say I have had this issue and I have been using GO Launcher for quite some time now.
Yes, I noticed this bug also.
I'm using go launcher ex for some time and this came out since 2-3 weeks.
I hope they will fix it soon.

I am having the same issue here. Gestures are disabled but that didn't help (even after restarting phone). Used to have Launcher Pro Plus which didn't have this kind of behavior.
Sent dev an email though.
Same observations. Especially bad for icons in the dock. I have always disabled gestures.
+1 I also have this problem from time to time. First I tought it was me missing the right spot on the screen, but it must be a bug.

[Q] ICS tablet mode - launcher recommendations

over at rootzwiki i just learned that ICS can go into tablet mode, so i did switch and i find it perfectly usable. some apps are even more useful than before like settings, mail, etc.
my only gripe right now is the launcher, it wastes space. i use nova with a 7x7 grid but in portrait mode its too small and in landscape mode i'd like to have more icons in the app-drawer.
does anyone know which launcher will do better? also, is it possible to get back stock launcher2? im on aokp b27 and it had trebuchet (which crashes) and nova.
thanks!
ps. for those who don't know it yet, try it out:
0. make a nandroid. should your launcher crash you are screwed
1. get latest aokp
2. change dpi to 190 in rom control
3. add hide-navbar option in powermenu
4. press powerbutton and hide navbar
5. reboot
trouble-shooting:
market trouble can be resolved by following the steps indicated in the AOKP dpi changer. i still had to manually delete its cache and data plus force close it until it finally shut up and let me download.
phone.apk will likely crash. it can be fixed be exchanging it with the one from AOKP's droid incredible build: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4168356/Phone.apk.html
i used adb, can also be done via root-browser i guess

ADW Launcher Ex works fine...
looks like what i needed, thanks!!! will now download and try
btw, i had problems using the phone app, it crashed. i read pushing the Phone.apk from aokp droid incredible build into /system/app works. and it did. now it runs perfectly, no fc's, no crashes. i uploaded it here in case anyone needs it: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4168356/Phone.apk.html
Yea I was going to say, ADW is my choice for my 10" Tablet.
My Setup:
Hide Dock Bar
Hide Status Bar (top part with App Drawer and redundant menu icon)
Hide Desktop Icon Text
Create a Drawer Icon coupled with whatever desktop icons.
Crank up the desktop Row/Column
This gives you a pretty large work area that is edge to edge. I don't use the dock bar but rather hide it and place my own icons. This removes the restriction of a 5 icon dock.
However I've never done this on my Nexus so I don't know how small the icons would be.
Hiding the statusbar is tricky because it doesn't work via the options checkbox. You have to create a gesture to hide/show statusbar. Go to the desktop and perform the gesture to hide it. Then go back into settings and delete the gesture. Now you'll gain access to the top bar.
With the Status bar gone, you access ADW Settings via the App Drawer like other ICS launchers.
why hiding the navbar? it's only initially since tablet mode brings its own, and i really like it so far. i find it more useful than the one in stock ICS even.
i installed adw and sadly i really don't like it so far. it feels like gingerbread and i hate having to theme ICS when im on ICS. but function-wise i got tiny icons in portrait mode and they seem to behave kinda strange. for now i got nova back, wastes space but i find it optically more appealing.
what i search would be a launcher that can stretch icons. i'd like it to behave just as before, if i use a 4x4 grid it would be cool if it could use the entire screen and not just a tiny fraction. nova comes close using a 7x7 grid but 49 tiny icons look kind of cluttered - not really nice for a homescreen.
btw, look how youtube reacted to tablet mode, never used a tablet or owned one, so my jaw pretty much dropped when i saw it running.
APEX launcher does the job. uses 100% screenspace and icons are big enough.
Also, check out Go launcher Ex. Make the icons larger in the settings menu. I manual set them to 80 and they look great. I also remove the top bar in the launchers setting menu. Set the screen to 6x6 and it looks perfect. Of course running an ICS theme but I don't mind a theme when I am actually on ICS. it is when you are on GB running an ICS theme that makes it feel cheesy!
I wish we could run the density in 160 but it seems like no phone.apk will run in that density. While running in 190 you need to use a modded market but it still seems like the market causes issues with certain apps while trying to download them. 160 would be native so we wouldn't need a modded market.
i still know it from my gf's phone, but must say i never liked it much. i guess im pretty happy now with apex in tablet mode, looks almost stock without the dpi changes, as it should. if i had the 5-button dock back and the notification-curtain (don't like they way they implemented that for tablets, it sucks) yeah it would be perfection but that can't be done unless the rom gets rewritten. im using it now daily, can live with small kinks and the new gapps/settings more than make up for it - would never ever want to revert to old mail/youtube/contacts/callendar, etc.
btw, are there rom's out there making dedicated use of it? i guess could care less about the newest tweak that gives me 5 minutes more battery power. but something that transforms the entire UI/IX into something more useful...

Yeah, data seems to be a little weird. I downloaded a file then it just stopped and wouldn't connect again and I couldn't make a call either. It was still showing full bars and 4G though.

thats terrible, i better make a nandroid before i try it. a custom rom would be great though, im getting really tired fixing this up.
the thing is, i really dislike the new tablet notification center, and the launcher. i wish it would behave just like before, if it could perhaps be tricked into ignoring the fake dpi. and i reaalllyy miss the notification curtain and the dock-bar. i tried hours to find some replacement for the old dock, the only thing that came close was desktop visualizr from the market, it creates resizable launcherbuttons with or without label and let's you set icons/images.
i love the new apps and settings, but the homescreen looks kinda long and dorky.

Edit...Data just stopped working with stock kernel. That really sucks! 4G still shows and so does the data arrows but no data works...

guys, i modded apexlauncher with apktool. made some changes in dalvik code to trick it into getting back the old dpi and brought back the dock through changes in the res files. icons are back to normal size aswell. it craps its pants though when it goes to landscape and the appdrawer shows only half of the screen, definitively needs more work. if someone could help with this i'd really appreciate it.
